Day 1 Theme: God & His Attributes

Power belongeth unto God - Psalm 62:11

There is no power — past or present, spiritual or physical, heavenly or earthly — that does not come from God. The only autonomous, self-sufficient being is God Himself. All power belongs to Him, so He is omnipotent, all-powerful.

This is a great comfort to those who recognize their own frailty and face countless daily challenges that are above their own ability or strength to overcome. However, it is also convicting to every one of us that has entertained the notion that we can thrive, or even survive, without God's strength.

Every other source of renewal, every other aid to which we might turn, will eventually fail us. But in the all-powerful God is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4). How wise is the one who therefore puts their "trust in the Lord forever." How foolish is the fist that is shaken at this God, or the restless one who wanders away from Omnipotence!

It is this very attribute of God's omnipotence which is given to us believers as inspiration to disciple the nations in the name of Christ. Jesus declares, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18) and so commands "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations" (19).

Rest in the everlasting strength of the one true God today. Go in the power of Jesus Christ today.
